Search by Speaker Issues

I am getting inaccurate results when I search by speaker.  {Speaker <Person Paul>} hope   is only producing 21 results in the Book of Acts, (KJV) despite that I have "New Testament" selected.  Can someone help me with the error of my way on how to search all the places Paul spoke of hope?

    Hi Andrew

    The search you have entered will find all verses where both of these conditions are true:

    • it contains the word "hope"
    • It contains some words spoken by Paul

    If you want to find where Paul actually speaks about hope you want hope WITHIN {Speaker <Person Paul>}

    It doesn't make a great difference in this case, but I thought it worth clarifying!

    I assume, however, you are more interested in where Paul writes about hope. This is not tagged with Paul as the speaker as he is not actually speaking - rather you need to search for the word hope specifying the Pauline Epistles as the range

    Does this give you what you are looking for?

    Hope searches can be combined:

    (hope WITHIN {Speaker <Person Paul>}) OR (hope WITHIN {Milestone <Ro-Pm>})
